"Fantastic hotel (it’s a Palace really) - staff great, although no air conditioning which normally isn’t an issue but with temp up in the high 30’s means sleeping on the top of the bedclothes is a requirement.
Overall a fantastic place to stay."

"Instead of driving from Lisbon to Porto in one shot, we stayed overnight at the castle. WOW! Living in the US it is not uncommon to spend over $200 for a fairly plain room in a generic hotel located next to a highway. Our room cost less than that and it was in a BEAUTIFUL castle, surrounded by a forest with hiking trails, with nice gardens, and incredible living rooms and porches. I had seen mixed reviews of the dinner online... my wife and I had dinner and breakfast at the castle and the food and service were great... among the best we had during our 10-day trip to Portugal.
It is about 2.5 hours from Lisbon, and about 1 hour from Porto. We arrived in Lisbon from the US, saw Lisbon for a few days, then took the train to Sintra. We rented our car in Sintra, and drove to the castle arriving around 5pm. Had a great time hanging in and around the castle, had a great dinner, and a great breakfast the next morning, and then headed off to Porto. So glad we did not visit a big city, and then do a long drive straight to another fairly big city. Bussaco Palace was the perfect place to pause in between Portugal's two big cities."
"The room was clean and spacious for our family of 4, consisting of 2 adults and 2 young children. They offered us an extra bed, but the 3 twin beds in the room is already sufficient for us. The staff during check-in was also very helpful and friendly. She provided us with a lot of local information. Breakfast selection was also good."
"The hotel is very good, deserve the raining. It is a little bit far from the town center for walking, and the city is getting through alot of construction"
